Chapter 555: All Eight Brothers Arrive, Master, Don't Think of Escaping

As soon as the door opened, there sat Dexter on the sofa, contract in hand and headphones over his ears, smiling warmly at Master Tam. "Master, long time no see." Master Tam slammed the door shut, then quickly opened another bedroom door. To his surprise, Philip was there, fiddling with a fruit knife, grinning, "Hi Master, missed me?"

By now, Master Tam grasped the situation. Standing at the door, he took several deep breaths and yelled, "You ungrateful wretches, all of you get out here!" One by one, the doors opened, and all his disciples, except for Hayden, stood before him, smiles on their faces, yet their eyes full of schemes.

James, furious, demanded, "Do you know how much I spent on your funeral? Pay me back!" Dexter, confused, added, "Master, why pretend to be dead? You're breaking our hearts." Wesley, raising his fists, shouted, "I threw away so much stuff to rush back for the mourning, nearly died on the road!" Damian, counting on his fingers sinisterly, said, "I almost blew up in the lab trying to investigate your cause of death, and here you are, living carefree!"

Tristan, clenching his teeth, followed up, "Is faking your death fun? Do you know how long it took us to move on from your death?" Liam, frowning, pointed outside to a tied-up wolfdog, "Master, you owe us an explanation." Philip, clenching his fists threateningly, said, "If you don't clarify things, I'll let the dog destroy all the seedlings at Serenity Ridge."

Gavin, hearing about the seedlings, grew even more enraged, "Speaking of seedlings, I'm even angrier. I planted them under the scorching sun at 34 degrees!" The eight disciples, like debt collectors, cornered Master Tam, whose head spun with the unexpected reunion. Fortunately, Hayden was not there; his wailing would have driven Master Tam to wish for death!

Meanwhile, Tina was happily seated downstairs, savoring red wine and watching the drama unfold. She wasn't foolish; Master Tam had agreed too readily to stay with her, surely planning an escape. With just her and Jared watching, it was challenging, but with so many disciples now, they might manage to keep him in sight.

Jared quietly came down and sat next to Tina, laying a hand on her shoulder. Unbeknownst to them, the eight brothers upstairs, as if having eyes on their backs, glared at Jared, "Take your hand off her!" Master Tam, raising his fist, cheered, "Yes, good children, go take your Tina back!"

"Master, you better start explaining yourself first," they retorted.
